Pretty goated interview.
Great to hear more about @jaekwon’s comeback as a founder and his personal tough times.
The founder of Cosmos forked ATOM.
Now he wants to complete his original vision.
@jaekwon opens up about the ATOM 2.0 fallout, his personal comeback and how @_gnoland and @_atomone fit into what he set out to build.
We also get into AI, quantum risks and whether the two Cosmos hubs can coexist.

GATA - Making AtomOne's Decentralization Economy Actionable
We’ve [GATA] built this app as a one-stop hub for the AtomOne chain, bringing chain data, validator analytics, voting power, reward dynamics, and the Nakamoto Bonus into one place.
More importantly, we’re making AtomOne’s decentralization economics actionable, not just something you read on a dashboard.
Explore the network, understand where voting power sits, see how the Nakamoto Bonus works, and make better decisions with your ATONE.
And if you want to go further, Autopilot and Restake are built in.
We’re opening it to the community for feedbacks and improvments as the product is in beta.
Explore the app: atomone.gatahub.zone/
Better data. Better decisions. A more distributed AtomOne.

An attacker exploited a legacy ION DAO accounting bug, creating 662 ION in deposit claims against 9 ION retained. Claims open July 17.
Expedited Osmosis Prop #1024 patches it and quarantines those claims before they open.
Vote YES now!

Hey Cosmos devs, I heard you like trees so we put an AVL tree in a B+ tree.
Superior write performance and off-head read performance too.
github.com/gnolang/gno/blob/…
Full ICS23 support and more optimizations possible in the future. Gno.land will use this instead of the AVL tree. Cosmos chains should use it if write throughput becomes an issue w AVL.

1/ Gm Gnomies. We're happy to bring you this week's update
Let's get started!

Gno.land and IBC 🌉
• IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol) lets sovereign blockchains exchange messages, tokens, and arbitrary data without relying on a trusted bridge
• Gno.land is connected to the Cosmos ecosystem through IBC, marking the first cross-chain integration for Gno.land
• Gno.land plans to build connections with other blockchains in the future

What is Gno.land? 📖
• Layer 1 smart contract platform invented by Jae Kwon @jaekwon (co-founder of Cosmos and Tendermint)
• Uses Gnolang, a simple interpreted version of Go, making it easy for millions of Web2 developers to build on-chain
• A fair, open-source, and censorship-resistant base for human-centric and transparent social platforms
• The new ultimate execution layer for Web3 app development

Gno.land will be the source of truth for people and AI.
AI generated media is saturating all parts of the web. We can detect AI generated video and text for now for the most part but this is already a lost battle.
Furthermore AI as we have heard from Claude Mythos is increasingly good at detecting exploits, so hacks will increase and you will not be able to trust even recent posts from media accounts.
This is where the inversion of control of crypto and a programmable BFT blockchain can help.
Attestations, attestation aggregation (sentiment), WoT reputation are all things we will be forced to put on chain, and we will need even AI agents to check data on chain before agentic txs or decisions.
Gno.land is ideal because it is most auditable; everyone can see *what* they trust and why in a language they know without boilerplate.
